It Takes 2: Innovation & Collaboration

We are excited to announce AIGA Iowa's first INsight event Thursday, May 8
at 7pm at August Home Publishing.

INsight, a program created by AIGA Iowa, supports in-house designers by providing events that help them evolve professionally and connect with a broader network of peers.

It takes 2: Innovation & Collaboration, the value of a strong partnership features Em Byerly, a 3-D gifts designer & Katie Larson, a lettering artist who work together at Hallmark Cards. Em (extreme extrovert) often drags Katie (introvert) out of her comfort zone and into the next adventure. This partnership formed 7 years ago and has been growing ever since. The two work to play to one another's strengths while minimizing weaknesses. Their collaborations happen in and out of the office and range from designing gifts (mugs, tea towels, candle holders), greeting cards and a quilt exhibit. Out side of work this dynamic duo have partnered on window displays in the Kansas City Power & Light district, sewing projects, and craft fairs.

Join us to learn how their unique points of view often make for great results.
